USA Sees Late Surge by #17 Auburn in 2-1 Loss

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - South Alabama falls to No. 17 Auburn in the midweek, neutral site clash, 2-1.

Pitching was the focal point of the game, with only two hits in the first three innings, both belonging to the Jaguars. Starter Leif Moore held down the first three innings. 

Lucas Ismaili gave the Jags the lead with a solo home run out of left field. The USA bullpen then worked to keep the Auburn bats from catching, not allowing an extra-base hit all game. 

In the bottom of the seventh, South was put into a jam with runners on first and second and only one out after the game's lone error. A wild pitch had the Tigers threatening and a walk made the bases loaded. Grant Wood entered and manufactured out number two by way of a swinging strikeout, but back-to-back walks left the Tigers ahead 2-1.

Despite a ninth inning Brennan Holt double, a comeback was not in the cards for the Jags.

Winning Pitcher: Parker Carlson (1-0)
Save: Dylan Watts (1)
Losing Pitcher: Gant Starling (3-1)
